The Republican attorneys general for Missouri and Kansas have brought the states into an effort by GOP officials across the nation to subvert the will of voters and reverse President Donald Trump's election loss.
Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt announced they would join 15 other states asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear a case filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton attacking election procedures in the battleground states of Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Democrat Joe Biden prevailed in all four states, giving him the electoral votes necessary to win the November election.
The Texas lawsuit repeats numerous false, disproven and unsupported allegations of illegal mail-in balloting and voting.
Schmidt said the case presents "important and potentially recurring constitutional questions" but some legal experts see it as a long-shot bid to overturn the election.
Trump has repeatedly made unsupported claims of election fraud in battleground states.
